We're officially over 4 months! The 16 week mark was last Friday. So I guess he's now pushing 17 weeks. Today we started some clicker training to start working on tightening up his obedience commands in preparation for real training in a few months.
His current weight is somewhere around 35lbs... I haven't tried to measure him for height yet, but I guess we should give that a shot. It looks like his colors are pretty much done. A comparison from his 7.5week shots shows little or no change. He actually brightened up his markings on his chest and throat briefly, and they now seem to be darkening in again. I think his lack of growth in height and weight recently is attributed to his general thickening- his muzzle and legs are becoming noticeably more broad than they were before. We did increase his food from 2 to 2.5lbs per day, plus extra "goodies" every day or two. He's getting more outgoing at the park, although his clumsiness and lack of speed still keep him from being a full player. It's good socialization for him though.
I've been keeping a photo album of his age progression- all but the first one are shots of him on my grooming table at work. It was the only place I could get a good shot on a regular basis.
It's amazing how much he's grown already. And still so far to go!
